The other night in the middle of the press conference, Gates talked about how Kobe still has another year left. When I was talking to him about the signees today he talked about Anthony Robinson being able to learn from Sean East and Nick Honor because they both have two years left. I said I like that you're already pushing Nick to use the extra year. He said "always." He said they're recruiting for the best case of scenario of keeping everybody, but also with the scenario in mind where a bunch of guys choose not to use the extra year. But he's not doing any of this "we'll worry about it after the season" stuff
